Recycling

YOU Made It Recyclingis a not-for-profit social enterprise created in 1996 by Youth Opportunities Unlimited, a registered charity, to provide employment skills training to local youth.

Thanks to the support of customers, youth participating in recycling take part in a skills training program that includes instruction under the mentorship of professional staff and the vital experience provided by customers. Youth receive training to operate several types of workstations that process recycled materials. They learn how to safely operate compactor/baler, various hand tools and material handling equipment. The 6,000 square feet facility is Ministry of Environment approved and contributes to London’s ‘green’ economy.

YOU Made It Recyclingservices accepts clean plastics, glass, cardboard, newsprint, paper and aluminum and offers outstanding service to businesses large and small.

Proceeds from all services go directly to support youth in programs and services of Youth Opportunities Unlimited.
